Ivan Aska scores 12.6ppg (pretty much tied for second leading scorer on their team) and is their leading rebounder by more than 2rpg at 6.0 rpg.
He's out tonight. Murray State should still beat Eastern Kentucky fairly easily, but I like to bet against teams who are missing key players.
The spread is 16. I'll take it. I wouldn't normally bet against Murray State at home, and this could end up coming back to bite me, but still doing it.
Also, Eastern Kentucky holds opponents to 29% from 3pt range. Murray shoots 44.7% from 3's and gets around 30% of points from 3pt land. Something's gotta give here.
I'm predicting a poor shooting night for Murray. They win something like 66-58.
